You did a great job, I've seen tomany comparisons between the two calibers to call it a wash. 300PRC has won again.

[@royalnellie]

Thank you for your comparison of those two calibers! I'm planning to step up from .308 Winchester because it often doesn't give the spotter much to work with beyond 900 yards. At least that is the case on the range I have to use to shoot that far, which is the Coldbore Range in neighbouring Denmark. At first I thought about the .338 Lapua, but the dies won't fit into my reloading press. The press is one of a kind, built by a professional toolmaker at a time the .338 Lapua wasn't around, I am sort of attached to it. I'm very happy to see that the .300 PRC can compete with the .338 Lapua because that is more than I was hoping for. Guns, Glory, Germany ;-)

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Thank you for watching! Hands down if I were you I'd go with something like the 300PRC and never look back.

[@kirkmartin2223]

I second that. If you have press clearance issues the 300prc "can" get long at a C.O.A.L of 3.850". Also donor actions are much easier to find being a standard magnum size action if you decide to build a rifle from scratch. Another good cartridge to look into is the 7saum. I would think that 7mm bullets might be easier to find in Germany. I've never heard of anyone saying that "my 338lapua was the easiest rifle I've ever loaded for".

I shoot a 338 LM at 1 mile at milkjugs (that's ~1/3 moa). I shoot hornady 285 ELDM, Lapua brass, us869 powder 104 gr, and Federal LRP powder. the ammo has a 9 fps extreme spread and 4 fps standard deviation, and 2800 fps MV the barrel is a 29" bartlein match straight taper with 1:8 twist. it's a tack driver! the problem is the recoil and concussion (and $) caused me to develop a trigger slap (,like a few I saw here) and an anticipate and flinch 😢 I moved to a 6.5 cm for lower recoil, 1/2 the cost.. I have 29" kreiger barrel with 1:7.5. I shoot 153.5 bergers. I don't feel I lost anything with the 6.5 other than the >1 mile and energy down range. I love 338 LM, was curious about 300 PRC, so this comparison was awesome. but I shot a 6.5 and fell in love (note my 6.5 actually weighs 2 lbs more than my 338 LM so recoil is next to nothing)

Love your videos. Just stretched out my hunting 30-06 212 to 1309 yards with first shot hits on 12 x 24 boulder. Fairly certain we can get that rifle to 1 mile, but I want to get a 300 prc and hope to get it out to mid 2500s. Modern bullets and powders really make the 30 cal shine. When I was a kid, no one would have thought a 30-06 could get first shot hits on a 12x24 at 3/4 mile, and I am a total rookie.

[@concreteandgrading]

Great job, what is barrel length

[@FL1911]

I went thru the same thing 2 years ago. I was able to connect with the 300 PRC out to 2400 using factory ammo. Meanwhile, when I finally strapped the 338 with a tie down, I was able to to shoot it better. Building a more stable position. Look at the shots you missies at 1800ish w the 338. On those two shots you sort of had less follow thru w the trigger to the rear and you were immediately dipping the muzzle to look for impact. All that stuff counts. Cool video and editing!

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Oh man, 100% agree all of the little things add up! While I prefer shooting the 300PRC, I like the 338LM because it is just fun to shoot. Hoping to spend more time shooting the 338LM and who knows, may revisit this in the future if I end up with a new opinion

Haven’t had a chance to run 300wm side by side with 300prc yet. Something I want to do though as like you mention these are 2 calibers always thought of as relatively similar. Would love to show the real world differences out to distance. Are you leaning WM or PRC at the moment?

[@noclass2gun342]

300 prc is absolutely going to kick the shit out of 300wm... all PRC cartridges headspace off the shoulder instead of the belt (provides more consistent headspacing)... 300 prc can also make use of better bc bullets

[@ミントチョコ天ぷら]

It is wise to purchase the 300PRC. The 300win mag does not have the capacity to hold bullets larger than 190 grain, while the 300prc can reliably hold up to 230 grain. Now, in terms of price, there is not much difference with the 300winmag. Of course, the 300NORMA MAG is a different story, but for now, the 300PRC is still more cost effective than the 300NORMA MAG. Supersonic Limits (25 degrees, 60% humidity / 26" barrel) 300win - 1470 yards / 195grain 300prc - 1860 yards / 220grain 300normamag - 1970 yards / 220grain I don't think anyone but US military special forces would pay more than double the price to shoot 100 yards farther.

My opinion the 300 magnums are the way to go out to 2000ish yards!

[@CJ-ty8sv]

Depending on your setup, a 300WM can actually outperform the PRC but you have to have the right setup (rifle with stock or chassis that will handle a CIP length mag and the chamber throated to handle the longer seat length that the CIP mag will allow for). Once you have that, the 300WM can run the same projectiles as the PRC with similar powder charges and typically get higher MV's (typically in the order of 50 to sometimes as high as 100fps higher). The thing is, you definitely wont find any off the shelf WM ammo that will compete with any off the shelf PRC ammo since all WM ammo will be setup for the much shorter SAAMI length rather than CIP length. But with handloading, especially now that Lapua makes 300WM brass, 300WM in my opinion is a better choice if you have or are willing to build a rifle setup for longer seating.

[@mar1video]

Thank you so much for this review ! Your conclusions make total sense ! I would love to jump into long range shooting with .338 Lapua , but I know there will be a learning curve that will cost a bit. Price difference on ammo is significant, so starting with 300 Win Mag will allow me to practice more and perhaps buy a better scope vs empty wallet and bragging rights because I invested into a wrong platform (.338 😜). I’ll be dreaming about that Lapua for a while , but for now I’ll stick with 300 Win Mag Thanks again ! Stay safe brother !

Cost and recoil advantage goes to 300PRC. Shooting 300 A-tip in the Lapua for a fair comparison, the 338 has a big advantage, especially at sea level. That said you shoot the 300 better. The recoil and muzzlebrake pull off seem to give you a bit of trouble in the 338, not much but you seem to have to correct more after the shot in the 338. Cool video! Keep them coming. Edit. Just listened to the end of the video where you said pretty much the same thing about the recoil. I'd have to agree that the 300 is the way to go for most applications.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

For sure I have to focus more on recoil control with the 338, to me the 300 is just much easier to shoot well. While I agree the 300 atip is a solid choice for the 300, I've actually been playing with the 255 ICBM solid copper bullet. BC of something like the 300 atip but the velocity of a light bullet.

You are literally holding my dream rifle. There are lots of amazing calibers but some are very expensive compared to 308 and will wear the barrel out much faster. I’d imagine that for someone just getting into longer range shooting that 308 would be fine out to 600 meters or so to get the fundamentals down especially when you will make a lot of mistakes and need to shoot a lot to learn. I keep thinking that I could build a custom Remington 700 but then I could use that money toward an MRAD. Man, that’s a gorgeous rifle!

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Oh man, 308 is a great starting point for long range. For sure it’ll get you to 600 yds, but I’d say it’s more like a 1000 yd caliber with the rifle bullet. For sure starting with something like a 308 Rem 700 will allow you to build the fundamentals, then as you save up you could sell that and move into a nicer rifle. My opinion the mrad is a really hard rifle to beat! Stay tuned for more mrad content!

[@Andrew-cm5tc]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica Thanks for the reply to my comment. I met a guy at my local gun store today who said that 308 Win with a 10x scope would not be adequate for precision rifle shooting because the targets are small and go well beyond the range of 308. He said you could have to shoot a target at 1000 yards that’s only 1 MOA wide and targets go even farther away than that. It sounds like a modern day version of Quigley down under shooting the bucket. The good thing about the mrad though is the ability to change calibers and if you wear out a barrel you can change it yourself. I believe the barrels are much more expensive for the mrad than a precision remington 700 barrel though.

@@Andrew-cm5tc ah man 308 win with a 10x scope is very capable. Check out my latest video with the old school sr25, I used that rig to make hits at 1000 meters.

Nicely done video; top of line equipment all the way around, plus a top of the line property. This is one of the best rifle videos I have ever seen, and I've seen a bunch :). One comment however, group sizes is measured center to center, not edge to edge.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel! Stay tuned in 2023 as I’m hoping to continue showcasing cool gear in the same area! Agreed groups should be measured center to center, not sure why I didn’t do that in this video.

[@qh4007]

You can measure center to center then do a little math for the bullet circumference, probably more accurate than the freyed edged measurements.

Man it would be awesome to have wide open spaces like that to shoot. You guys are lucky. Here in south Mississippi there are very few wide open spaces. The local range has a 100,200,300yd ranges and I have access to a friends land where he owns a couple 100 acre field where I can get out to 620yds. That’s the farthest I’ve ever been able to shoot. I’ve been doing it so much that ive had to start shooting @ 2-3” plates at that distance. The 8” to 12” targets have gotten pretty routine. Which says a lot because I started with an 18” target and just been working my way down 😂

I would love to have .338 Lapua but the cost of ammo is insane, at my local gun store .50 BMG is cheaper. I've also read that reloading doesn't drop the price much, even reloading is apparently quite expensive.

[@TexasTrained]

LikevNONE said..I alsowent through the same decisions.I went with 300 PRC..Mainly because I was given 25 boxes of new Hornady 225gr ELD macth factory ammo. I was able to hit at 2907 yards with a Hornady 250 Gr A-Tip.going 2803 fps in 19mph winds at full value from 3 oclock.. I recently built a 30 Sherman Magnum shooting the same 250gr ATip.Going 2914 fps. I have not shot it in competition yet.I may not because I purchased a 338 Lapua Magumto use as a donor rifle to build a 33XC. to shoot Hornady 300gr A Tips.I have a barrel with a 1-9 twist. I also built a 375 Cheytac with 1-7 twist in a 35 inch barrel.I shoot 427gr Cutting Edge Solids with it going 3005 fps. The 338 LM is a good choice but withcosts factored and recoil foranew shooter I highly suggest the 300 PRC.. The 30 Sherman out shoots it but the Fire Forming Brass and wear & tear on barrelnlife Id still take the 300 PRC in a Savage 110 Elite for about $1800. will get you into the ELR game competively .Great Video.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Oh man, sounds like you’ve got some awesome ELR rifles. One of these days I’d love to get the chance to play with 33XC or 375CT. My next caliber to mess with however will be 300NM, I really think this represents a great 30 cal magnum option. Able to shoot the heavy 230+ gr bullets, lots of components available and lots of data out there to work from. Just need Barrett to release a run of barrels haha

[@TexasTrained]

Come shoot out to 2800yds at White Oak Creek in Mount Pleasant TX .Did you build you a 300 NM?

Wondering if you notice a significant change in bullet drop after the sun begins setting and temps are dropping quickly. What i’m getting at is performance changes from starting your testing when sun is up and temps are warm and finishing when temp has dropped.

[@firebasecombatstudiesgroup1857]

[@ミントチョコ天ぷら]

I think this is probably the most detailed video on the differences between the 338 and 300PRC. One question I have is what is the barrel life of the 300PRC? I'm thinking of a 24" barrel because I want a hybrid that can be used for both hunting and target shooting. And, thinking of using N570 powder and a slight overpressure charge of 2900 fps with 220-230 grain bullets.

I have the Ruger precision in 338lm and am currently working on a 300prc custom build. I bought a AI stock to put my action in and have my glass already 5-35x50, timney trigger, defiant action, waiting on my barrel.

[@reconhippy8352]

Last shot at 1810 with the 300 was righteous. You have the dream setup. Can't find this unicorn of a rifle anywhere in my caliber. Will you suppress? What scope mount are you rockin'? Thanks for the vid, please keep making them.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Thank you for watching! I've got more videos planned.... hoping to get an MRAD vs RPR video released in the next couple weeks. I searched about 6-8 months before finally finding this rifle to purchase, originally in 338LM. Since then I've been able to acquire the 300PRC and 6.5CM barrel. I was thinking I would sell the 338LM barrel after I got the 300PRC barrel but I really just enjoy slinging some 338s occasionally. I only plan to suppress the 6.5CM barrel mainly so I can shoot it at night, I prefer muzzle brakes on the bigger magnum calibers for recoil management. Scope mount is is a Spuhr 4016, super solid!

[@reconhippy8352]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica For elevation, did you dial in the turret or adjust with the reticle?

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

@@reconhippy8352 depends on how far the shot is…. Shots that require about 10 mils or less I hold over in the reticle. Shots requiring more than that I dial as they get pretty far down in the reticle beyond 10 mils.

I have a 338 edge shooting the 285 eldm at 2821 and the 300 prc shooting the 212 at 2993 both excellent

What kind of powder and what charge weight in the 338 edge?

[@stephenferguson6363]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica h1000 has been the powder in all 3 of the 338 edges iv messed with n570 is also very good with heavy the atm im running 90 grns h1000 with the 285 eldm and its extremely accurate at 200 it is consistently under a inch im running a 3-15 vx5 hd on it. 27 " bench mark barrel more of a shorter rifle

[@joshvick6178]

the reason 338 and some of those heavier rounds are favored is due to the rounds ability to resist change. under perfect conditions a lot of different calibers can look good but under strenuous conditions is what separates the good from the bad.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Very fair point. Certainly the comparison in this video was during optimal conditions in a target shooting environment. 338LM certainly has a place but for my application it’s not my first choice. I actually just picked up a 300NM barrel that I can’t wait to run side by side with 338LM and 300PRC, really high expectations there. Thanks for watching!

[@TechieTard]

338's aren't bullets, they are fkn cannon balls.

[@magwamagwa45110]

Use the A tip for both and try the 300 PRC at 2000 and 2400 and 2800 see which works the best ? Very few people would be shooting factory ammo at these distances IMO BTW love the Mrad

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

[@ericb.4358]

The US military seems to now favor the .338 NORMA magnum, perhaps because its shorter case runs through heavy machine guns better than the LAPUA round. Historically the .338 LAPUA was developed by two Americans specifically for long range sniping. LAPUA then standardized it with SAAMI and its European equivalent and put their name on it. BTW, WHY DIAL? Just use yer TREMOR reticle for hold changes. I have an H59 reticle on my RPR and I never dial in competition.

Weld a bit of angle to the back of your silhouette near the edge and drill a couple of holes in it. Then you have a flat surface for your indicator and can strap it on with some zip ties. Great video, lots of good content and a fair comparison. Thanks.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Very good idea…. Been trying to come up with a way to keep the light from falling off the back of the target. Not an issue I have when shooting targets with smaller calibers haha

[@davidrasmussen2975]

I shoot a 300 prc hand loaded H1000 powder with hornaday ELDX 212 for elk. I shoot 500 yards with 12” painted plate for pre hunting. I shot 30:06 this years 5x5 elk at 752 yards yards and got within 6” of heart with gentle cross wind and walking elk. My all time longest kill. I like your video and think your comparison between 300 and 338 at 1815 yards showed effect of slower speed, more drag on shape and heavier bullet. Try to get closer in bullet weight and use same powder and amount.

[@RandyMan388]

Hey Buddy, that's some great shooting.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Thank you! Amazing what a bit of luck can do haha

[@davidandre886]

It all comes down to your goals. Each caliber has an optimal “distance band” what I mean by that is, you want the minimal amount of gun that thrives at that distance. 300 prc is wasted for shooting steel inside of 800 yds, you won’t take the full benefit until you get out to 1200+ That being said bigger bullets hold up better at distance. The lapua will do better as you get further out, but inside of 2k won’t buy you much. If you only want to shoot to 1 mile a 6.5 prc is a great option, but every couple hundred yards really demand more from the cartridge. One thing you got wrong was 338 Lapua brass is about double the cost of 300 prc. And the factory ammo is way more. If you stay within the practical range of each caliber a 30 cal is a better option. If you really want to get out there, the 338 is better. I think the bullet comparison is a huge issue, eldm are pretty poor bullets, and the wrong bullet tanks a cartridge. Finally, the 338 will have notably bigger down range effects, and holds up better to big wind and switchy wind. It’s like a 6.5 creed vs a 6 dasher. The dasher is easier and preferable for closer stuff, but at distance the 6.5 just dominates (especially with heavies) Long comment, apologies in advance 😅

[@Wreckz_Tea]

I want to find the cheapest option for shooting 1 Mile on at least a semi consistent basis. I would like to say consistently but I don't know that there is a budget option that can do that. However I also know absolutely nothing about long range shooting. My longest shot ever only being 475yds. I've never had a rifle capable of shooting much further, nor gave I had the space to do it. But I want the rock bottom price to be able to do it often enough that it's definitely not just luck
